Roasted Citrus & Herb Red Snapper
A roasted whole fish recipe that takes very little preparation, but will taste like you put hours of effort into the flavor.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 red snapper whole, approx. 2-3 lbs
- 2 lemons sliced
- 1 orange sliced
- 8 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 5-6 sprigs fresh oregano
- 5-6 sprigs fresh parsley
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
- Rinse the snapper, inside and out. Pat the outside and inside dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil all over the exterior and inside the fish. Season with salt and pepper, inside and out.
- Lay the fish on the lined baking sheet. Stuff the snapper with fresh herbs and garlic. Then stuff the fish with orange and lemon slices. Place any slices you can’t fit inside the fish both underneath and on top of the fish.
- Roast for 30 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the flesh is flaky. Serve immediately.
